The New Zealand health IT hot top 20

Written by Kate McDonald on 18 December 2015.

The announcement that New Zealand will create a national electronic health record (EHR) for all of its citizens was unsurprisingly the most-read Kiwi story on Pulse+IT in 2015. It's also very apparent that anything to do with Orion Health is of real interest to readers, which again is no surprise.

Patient portals were of interest, as were new developments from GP desktop market leader Medtech, and the growing interest in telehealth also became apparent. Australian company Best Practice's unexpected decision to buy Hamilton firm Houston Medical raised some eyebrows, as did the demise of Auckland's HSAGlobal.
